This sermon examines the life of Thomas, the doubting disciple who initially struggled to believe in Jesus’ resurrection. It looks at his journey from pessimism to declaring “My Lord and my God!” when seeing Jesus’ wounds. Thomas is portrayed as representing the future acceptance of Jesus by the Jewish people. The sermon draws lessons about overcoming doubt, the importance of gathering with other believers, and boldly confessing faith in Christ. Thomas’s transformation encourages modern followers of Jesus to persevere through periods of unbelief.
